Overview

Custom home builder serving Kelowna and the surrounding area.

Palermo Homes has been building custom homes across Kelowna and the Central Okanagan for 15+ years. From lakeview homes in Upper Mission and Kettle Valley to family builds in Glenmore, Lower Mission, and Wilden.

Kelowna builds different in every neighbourhood. A hillside lot in Upper Mission needs different foundation work, drainage, and structural planning than a flat lot in Lower Mission. We know the terrain, the City of Kelowna permit process, and the trades.

FAQ

Custom homes in Kelowna, answered.

How much does a custom home cost in Kelowna?
Most Palermo Homes custom builds in Kelowna fall between $600 and $1,500+ per square foot depending on lot, size, finish level, and complexity. Lakeview lots in Upper Mission and Kettle Valley typically sit at the upper end because of the site work involved. We provide transparent line-item pricing from day one so you always know where the budget stands.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Kelowna?
A typical Kelowna custom home takes 12 to 18 months from the first design meeting to the final walk-through. That is usually 2 to 4 months for design and blueprints, 2 to 3 months for City of Kelowna permits and geotech (longer for hillside lots), and 8 to 12 months for construction. You get weekly photo updates and we flag schedule issues early.
Do you build in every Kelowna neighborhood?
Yes. We have built across Upper Mission, Lower Mission, Kettle Valley, Glenmore, Wilden, Dilworth, and the rural southeast. Every neighbourhood has its own permit rhythm and geotech quirks. We handle all of it in-house.
Can you help me find a lot in Kelowna?
We work closely with several Kelowna Realtors and can walk lots with you before you purchase. Understanding buildability up front. Geotech, slope, servicing, view corridors, and setbacks. Saves you from paying for a lot that ends up being twice as expensive to build on as the one across the street.
Do you handle renovations in Kelowna too, or only new builds?
Both. We take on whole-home renovations, additions, kitchen and bathroom renovations across Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. Every renovation is built to the same finish standard as our custom homes.
